The body of an Israeli man has been found in a bullet-riddled car in the West Bank.
Palestinian security officials say the body was found in Beit Sahour.
Initial reports say the man, who also carried a foreign passport, had been kidnapped by gunmen.
Earlier, the two largest Palestinian militant factions said they will stick to a truce with Israel despite their accusations that Israel assassinated a West Bank militia leader.
Supporters of Raed Karmi took revenge just hours after his death killing an Israeli soldier and wounding an officer who had left their armoured personnel carrier to question two Palestinians at a checkpoint.
Israel did not confirm or deny involvement in the killing of Karmi, 27, leader of the Al Aqsa Brigades in the West Bank town of Tulkarem.
Karmi had boasted of killing two Tel Aviv restaurant owners and was accused by Israel of having killed a total of nine Israelis. He survived an Israeli missile attack on his car in September.
Karmi's funeral procession wound through the streets of Tulkarem, with mourners carrying his body, wrapped in a Palestinian flag.
Militiamen shot in the air, and one shouted "settlers, beware."
The latest violence undermined US truce efforts, and it is not clear whether Washington mediator Anthony Zinni will return to the region later this week as planned.

I've seen negative comments made about him on far-looney right, Aryan Nation type websites, though.
.
They all get the boot eventually for vile comments like those.
He is a former red-diaper baby who grew up and saw the light.
Wonder when and if the Leftists here ever will.
Imagine sitting across a negotiating table from such psychopathic killers?
He was 70. But then he was also an Israeli Jew.
You know, "chosen people" stamina.
You comparing David Horowitz to Angela Davis? LOL. You better tell that to all the leading Conservatives, most of whom have appeared at David's Wednesday Morning Club, including President Bush. (-:
And this adds what to the conversation? Would you be quick to forgive former Nazis? If not why do you forgive a former Communist and Black Panther so quickly?
"You are a swell guy Mr tex-oma (decent and understanding) but these other people are brutal.
"When I first read the title " A Israeli found in bullet ridden car" - I first assumed the arabs did it - but then I thought - " Hell Billy - maybe he was robbing a 7/11 , or a 'Crack buy' went bad, or maybe it was the Russian mafia or a traffic accident or or - who knows what.
"When I read the full article then it was obvious. But - Tex !! Why did everyone jump on me just cause I asked a question ?
Why did you say such an asinine thing after alleedly reading the article, again?

It certainly does. Every apparent attempt at peace by the 'Palestinians' and other Arabs with Isreal has proved itself to be disingenuous by subsequent treachery. All of which ends up being traced back to their leadership. Combined with reams of statements and documents from Arab leaders and states that clearly outline the complete destruction of Isreal there is no reason whatsoever to have any sympathy for their 'plight'. No matter how many pictures of cute little kids they can produce.
As an American of non-Jewish and non-Arab descent I really don't have a familial stake in their problems. I would prefer that our gooberment had stayed out of the whole thing. Way too late for that. As an American I would like to see our gooberment support principles in its international dealings that reflect our own founding principles of liberty, freedom and justice. I don't see how supporting Isreals right to exist out of one side of our mouth and condemning its right to self defense out of the other is consistent with that.
For years the whiners have been saying that we should discourage Isreal from doing anything substantial or meaningful to defend itself because it will drag us into a war or wars with the 'Arab world'. Well hello! The 'Arab world' has dragged us into wars with it anyway. Or were Desert Storm and Sept. 11th just productions staged on a Hollywood movie set?
Yeah, you are.
